1965 Map of Dumas South

About this map

Dumas serves as the central hub of this Moore County survey, showing a mid-century town structure defined by its local institutions and public spaces. The map documents a cluster of educational facilities including North Ward Sch, Jr High Sch, East Ward Sch, and South Ward Sch, alongside civic landmarks like the Armory, Memorial Hospital, and the Community Hall. The presence of a large Grain Elevator and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line highlights the area's agricultural and transit-based economy. To the south and east, the landscape shifts into the drainages of Blue Creek and Running Water Creek. This transition reveals a ranching landscape where family-named holdings such as Coon Ranch, Burnett Ranch, and Beauchamp Ranch anchor the rural territory beyond the city limits.
